Vayapuri Gopalasamy, known as Vaiko, has alleged that both Tamil Nadu and the Tamil Eelam are in danger as the BJP and the RSS have chalked out a plan to destroy the Tamils. He also lambasted the Congress government for betraying the Sri Lankan Tamils in their fight for a separate country.

Speaking to reporters at Chennai on Tuesday after his nomination form  for the upcoming Rajya Sabha election was accepted by the Returning Officer, Vaiko said it was the then Congress Government at the Centre that betrayed the Tamils in Sri Lanka which resulted in the defeat of the LTTE in the hands of the island nation’s defence forces.

The MDMK general secretary, whas been nominated as a member of the Rajya Sabha as an act of goodwill by the DMK president M K Stalin said that he would raise his voice  for the Tamils and the formation of a separate Tamil Eelam.  Though Vaiko did not name the Congress for betrayal of Tamils in Sri Lanka, he came down heavily on BJP for its efforts to destroy the natural resources and wealth of the State.

He said though the State was being robbed of its natural resources and environment , he was aghast that there were no uprisings in  Tamil Nadu. “Tamil Nadu is in danger and that is reason why I agreed to be a member of the Rajya Sabha. I’ll fight against the BJP and its Hindutwa politics,” said Vaiko.

Vaiko, the LTTE’s Tamil Nadu face, does not miss any opportunity to praise the volunteers of the terrorist organisation  and its slain leader V Prabhakaran,  He is also in the forefront in the agitation   to set free  the seven assassins of Rajiv Gandhi who are undergoing life term in a Chennai prison.
